103: Chapter 103: The Jade Hairpin Transforms 103: Chapter 103: The Jade Hairpin Transforms Late at night, Mei Xiaofang was alone outside the room that once belonged to Grandma Yue Xi.
She was holding a midnight snack, anxiously waiting.
The door opened, and Su Zhenglong walked out as if he had lost his soul, sighing, “There’s nothing, nothing left.”
Mei Xiaofang stepped forward to comfort him, “Let it be, my lord.
It’s been decades, we should just live our days peacefully.”
She did not want any more disturbances in the family, having finally resolved all their troubles.
But knowing the truth, Su Zhenglong was very unwilling to let it go.
Suddenly, a scream echoed from the old courtyard where they lived.
The Su Zhenglong couple’s faces changed with horror, and after exchanging a glance, they cried out, “Yue Xi!”
At the same time, Sikong Jing met Sui Yu in the small pavilion within Su Residence.
“Brother, I’ve found a perfect excuse for the deaths of the two from Shadow Sect and foisted it upon them.”
“I’ve also started to place my people within Yunzhou.”
“And the reason I came to Yunzhou this time was not specifically to see you but to carry out an important mission.”
“According to reliable information, Tianlong Villa in Yunzhou has colluded with Xia Country, secretly harboring bandits and committing numerous evil deeds.”
“I have been sent to eradicate Tianlong Villa.”
Sui Yu had relayed all this to Sikong Jing, and just as Sikong Jing was about to give some instructions, he too heard the scream of Su Yuexi, and without a second thought, he dashed out using Beast Skill Flowing Cloud Flash.
Sikong Jing arrived before the Su Zhenglong couple, and when he saw Su Yuexi in the room, he was instantly stunned.
There was no enemy, just an odd scene.
He saw Su Yuexi standing beside the bed in a daze while a jade hairpin hovered in front of her, the very Jade hairpin they had recovered earlier.
The Jade hairpin was emitting a jade green light, mysterious and unfathomable.
Seeing Sikong Jing arrive, Su Yuexi, her face pale, said, “Brother Jing, I was packing to move out when I accidentally pricked myself with the Jade hairpin and started bleeding.
Then it turned into this.”
“I, I can’t move,” added Su Yuexi.
Sikong Jing had never seen such a scene before, but he could sense a vast and pure aura emanating from the hairpin, and four characters flashed in his mind: “treasure recognizes its master.”
Sikong Jing tried to get closer but was immediately pushed back by the jade green light.
The power from the hairpin surprised Sikong Jing; even he had the idea that even his unrepaired self couldn’t approach it—it was certainly a force beyond the Transcendent.
“Brother Jing, I saw strange figures and heard them chanting inside the hairpin,” Su Yuexi cried out in astonishment.
Sikong Jing quickly asked, “Yue Xi, do you feel the hairpin is malevolent or benevolent?”
“It’s benevolent, like the hairpin has become a part of my life.”
As Su Yuexi spoke, Sikong Jing trembled all over, indeed it was “treasure recognizes its master.”
He urged Su Yuexi to calm her heart and feel everything inside the hairpin.
And Su Yuexi did just that.
Gradually, the jade green light from the hairpin enveloped Su Yuexi, and she unconsciously closed her eyes, exuding a holy aura, her beautiful features imbued with untouchable sanctity.
In Sikong Jing’s body, the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts stirred slightly, allowing him to feel the bloodline inside Su Yuexi’s body elevating.
At that moment, the Su Zhenglong couple also arrived.
They too were stunned by the scene before them, and when they tried to rush forward, they were also pushed back.
When Sikong Jing informed them that it was the “treasure recognizing its master,” they were utterly dumbfounded, as such events only existed in legends, never witnessed by anyone.
But now they could not, nor were they able to, interfere, so they could only wait anxiously.
Two hours had passed, and just at dawn, the Jade hairpin suddenly chirped and spun into Su Yuexi’s hair, turning into the only exquisite hair ornament on Su Yuexi’s head.
The jade green glow disappeared, and Su Yuexi slowly opened her eyes, looking around blankly at the people surrounding her.
“Brother Jing, it’s a strange feeling, the hairpin has become a part of my flesh, inseparable.”
“I feel like I’ve changed, yet I also feel like I haven’t.”
Sikong Jing, upon hearing this, walked up and took Su Yuexi’s pulse.
He was then surprised to discover that Su Yuexi’s meridians and Dantian seemed as though they had been remodeled, becoming purer than ever.
The blood vessels in her body had also become vast, symbolizing an extremely strong Martial Arts Talent.
Su Zhenglong also hurried forward to investigate and discovered the same issue, muttering, “Yuexi’s Martial Arts Talent might exceed mine by ten times, even a hundred times.”
Mei Xiaofang opened her mouth and said, “Although the Jade hairpin is valuable, how did it become a treasure?”
Sikong Jing had heard Su Yuexi mention this before.
As children, Su Yuexi and her sister discovered a small hole in a large rock used to decorate their courtyard.
Occasionally, bright, sparkling lights shone from the small hole, so Su Yue Immortal and Su Yuexi, out of curiosity, pleaded with Su Zhenglong to smash the rock and extract what turned out to be this Jade hairpin.
Thinking of this, Sikong Jing asked, “Father-in-law, might the hairpin have been placed inside the rock by Grandma Yue Xi?”
Su Zhenglong was visibly shocked, his eyes suddenly revealing a strong glint.
“I remember now, I did see that happen when I was very young.”
“Grandma Yue Xi was murmuring something, then she thrust the Jade hairpin on her head into the rock.”
The group exchanged glances…
Sikong Jing took a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid all of Grandma Yue Xi’s secrets are within this Jade hairpin.”
With this speculation, Su Zhenglong’s mind seemed somewhat eased.
Sikong Jing then quickly asked Su Yuexi about any changes, what she saw inside the hairpin, and the like.
“It seemed like something was being recited, but I couldn’t hear clearly, it seemed to enhance my strength,” replied Su Yuexi.
Sikong Jing understood immediately.
Su Yuexi, like his own Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, needed to reach a certain realm before she could uncover the secrets within the Jade hairpin,
“No matter what, this is good news.”
“Yuexi, your future achievements in Martial Arts will certainly be unmatched.”
The power emanating from the hairpin was above Transcendent, and at that moment, Sikong Jing felt naturally overjoyed for his wife.
After instructing Su Yuexi to begin cultivation immediately, Sikong Jing and Sui Yu left ahead.
At the entrance of the Su Residence, Sui Yu said deeply, “Brother, I will go first, and I’ll look for you after I destroy Tianlong Villa.”
Sikong Jing gave him a tight hug and whispered softly, “Take care.”
“A mere Tianlong Villa, it’s nothing.”
Sui Yu laughed, but tears glistened in his eyes as he turned away.
After completing the mission, he might not be able to return to Yunye City, and he must not let anyone suspect, otherwise he, Brother Sikong, the Sui Family, and the brothers in prison, might never recover.
The next time they met, who knew when it would be.
Sikong Jing watched his departure, murmuring, “I, Sikong Jing, am sorry to you all.”
His fists clenched tightly, Sikong Jing wished he could immediately reach the Transcendent Peak and storm back to the Great Shang Imperial City.
As the day broke, Su Zhenglong announced the death of Su Xuefeng, and naturally, he then became the Family Head of the Su Family, with those who had followed Su Xuefeng now all pledging allegiance.
The Su Family also officially became the strongest family in Yunye City.
